Generalized thermodynamic potentials for mesoscopic conductors in the presence of transport
Thomas Christen
It is shown that the nonequilibrium steady-state of a phase-coherent conductor can be described by a generalized thermodynamic potential based on the concept of partial densities o…
Admittance and Nonlinear Transport in Quantum Wires, Point Contacts, and Resonant Tunneling Barriers
M. Buttiker, T. Christen
We present a discussion of the admittance (ac-conductance) and nonlinear I-V-characteristic for a number of mesoscopic conductors. Our approach is based on a generalization of the…
Magnetic Field Symmetry of Dynamic Capacitances
T. Christen, M. Buttiker
While the static capacitance matrix is always symmetric and thus an even function of the magnetic field, the dynamic capacitance matrix of multi-terminal samples obeys in general o…
Dynamic Conductance in Quantum Hall Systems
M. Buttiker, T. Christen
In the framework of the edge-channel picture and the scattering approach to conduction, we discuss the low frequency admittance of quantized Hall samples up to second order in freq…
Basic elements of electrical conduction
M. Buttiker, T. Christen
A theory of the dynamical conductance of mesoscopic conductors is presented. It is applied to mesoscopic capacitors, resonant double barriers, ballistic wires, metallic diffusive w…
